Terms of Service
1. What BuildTrader is
BuildTrader is a venue where people list, discover, and communicate about surplus building materials. BuildTrader is not a party to any transaction. We do not process payments, hold funds, arrange delivery, or guarantee any item, price, or party.
2. Seller authority
By posting a listing you affirm that you own the listed material or have the authority to sell it. Listing materials you do not have the right to sell, including client-owned materials, job-site materials, or stolen goods, is prohibited and will result in removal and account termination. This affirmation is recorded with each listing.
3. Transactions are between users
Payment, inspection, pickup, and any warranties are strictly between buyer and seller. Inspect materials before paying. BuildTrader bears no responsibility for the condition, quality, legality, or fitness of listed materials, or for the conduct of users.
4. Prohibited listings
No hazardous materials where resale is regulated or unsafe (e.g., asbestos-containing products), no recalled goods, no stolen property, no items that are not building or landscape materials.
5. Privacy of pickup locations
Listings display approximate location only. Do not publish exact addresses in listing content; share pickup details through private messages.
6. Content and conduct
You grant BuildTrader a license to display the content you post. We may remove any listing or account at our discretion, including for fraud, misrepresentation, or abuse.
7. Changes
We may update these terms; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
